Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry.

Sprinkle raspberries over the cream cheese mixture.

Roll the pastry tightly from one end to the other to form a log.

Slice the rolled pastry into equal pieces, about 1 inch thick.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Sprinkle cinnamon and graham cracker crumbs over the rolls.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
